Magyar’s Tisza party has made available its own system for voters to report fraud. Fidesz has followed suit by enabling a hotline and a dedicated email address. “The overwhelming majority of these violations are tied to Tisza. They cry fraud — but they are the ones committing it,” Fidesz MEP Csaba Dömötör said Sunday morning. “Based on Fidesz submissions, 639 cases of electoral violations have been established, with 74 police reports currently underway,” Dömötör said. Opposition leader Magyar said early Sunday that he would accept the results as long as there is no serious electoral fraud, urging voters to report…
By Kirsten Ripper & Euronews Published on 12/04/2026 – 13:41 GMT+2 The moment of discovery was particularly impressive for the underwater archaeologists. Diving in Lake Neuchâtel, Fabien Langenegger and Julien Pfyffer made a spectacular discovery from the Roman Empire. “At first, we both cautiously approached this pile of circles, which could have been a depot of mines left behind from the Second World War. But when I switched on my camera light, the characteristic colour of terracotta emerged. Looking at some broken plates, we realised that this find was extraordinary.” This is how Julien Pfyffer of Swiss NGO Octopus Foundation describes the discovery…
Russia declared a temporary 32-hour ceasefire to mark Orthodox Easter, starting at 4 p.m. on Saturday and lasting through Sunday, following calls from Kyiv for a pause in the fighting over the holiday period. Ukraine and Russia exchanged 175 prisoners of war as the ceasefire took effect Saturday. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X Saturday that Ukraine would “adhere to the ceasefire” but “respond strictly in kind” to any potential violations. “If there are no Russian strikes, there will be no response from us,” he said. But he added that “every Ukrainian unit retains the right to respond.”
Madeira’s PR1 Vereda do Areeiro, a breathtaking trail that links three of the highest points on the Portuguese archipelago, will reopen in April after being closed off to hikers for two years. According to the Visit Madeira tourism board, the trail’s revamp is part of the island’s “continued commitment to investing in infrastructure, conservation programmes and community-focused tourism activities”, within the framework of its latest awareness campaign: Explore. Respect. Preserve. The trail was forced into closure in 2024 due to a wildfire, which damaged much of the trail and required extensive safety improvements. With restoration works now complete, the 7km-long…

A large number of voters cast their ballots in the early hours of Sunday’s key election in Hungary, which could potentially spell the end of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule. According to data from the Hungarian national election office, 16.9 percent of registered voters had cast their ballots by 9 a.m. In the previous parliamentary election in 2022, that figure stood at 10.3 percent at the same time. POLITICO’s Poll of Polls projects a comfortable lead for Orbán’s challenger, Péter Magyar, and his center-right Tisza party. But polls have also diverged significantly and in Hungary’s electoral system, vote shares…
For years, sailing through Tracy Arm in southeast Alaska has been a highlight of many cruise itineraries, drawing visitors with its dramatic fjord landscapes and active glaciers that calve into icy waters. The narrow passage, framed by rugged wilderness, has long been considered one of the region’s most scenic cruising experiences. However, this season several major cruise lines are choosing to bypass the route. The decision follows a massive landslide last summer, when a large section of a glacier collapsed into the fjord, triggering a tsunami that sent waves surging high up the opposing mountainside. The event raised concerns about…
“I don’t think [the country is] ready for another different type of person,” said Annette Wilcox, a 69-year old New Yorker.It’s an open question the party is grappling with in the wake of Harris’ decisive 2024 loss to President Donald Trump.

After the historic talks ended, US Vice President JD Vance, who led the US delegation, called the talks “substantive” but said that Iran “had chosen not to accept our terms,” which is “bad news for Iran much more than for the USA.” He added that he was in constant communication with US President Donald Trump.

As the ultra-rich navigate the globe, they are seeking out hyper-personalised, authentic travel experiences not open to the general public.
